Lord, we commend Stephanie into Your gracious hands. Thank You for her life, her testimony, and the hope of the resurrection. Comfort her family and all who loved her with the peace that comes from knowing that because Jesus lives, all who belong to Him shall live also. Amen.
Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Stephanie Johnson. Many years ago Steve Pratt and I had the privilege of baptizing Stephanie in the waters of Puget Sound, a beautiful public testimony of her faith in Christ. That faith has now become sight.
While we grieve the loss of our dear sister, we do not grieve as those who have no hope. We rejoice in the certainty that Stephanie is now experiencing the fullness of eternal life in Christ.
📱 Drowning in Information but Starving for Wisdom!
We all have smartphones in our pockets, yet we still make bad decisions. Why? Because having a flood of information doesn't mean you have wisdom. Knowledge fills your mind, but true wisdom shapes your life.
Look up at the stars and remember how small we are in the grand scheme of things. True wisdom begins with a sense of awe in God. When we step back and take in the vastness and glory of the universe He created, it humbles our hearts and prepares us to walk in genuine meekness.
"Sabbath reminds us we’re not our jobs. It gives us time to step out of our role and remember there are some things far more important than our job title."
Even small, seemingly meaningless words spoken to a child, friend, or spouse can be completely life-altering. What we say has the power to shape identities, form morality, and influence destiny-creating decisions. Your words matter, are you directing them with purpose?
An encounter with the living God will always leave a mark. Grace meets us where we are, but it doesn't leave us there. If you belong to God, allow His Spirit to break through the dry ground of your heart and transform you from the inside out. 🌿🕊️ #Transformation#LivingFaith
A raised hand or a prayed prayer is just the beginning. The true, beautiful calling of the Church is to walk alongside one another in the lifelong, transformative journey of following Christ. 🌱⛪️ #Discipleship#ChurchCommunity#FaithJourney#SpiritualGrowth
True faith isn't found by looking inward, but by looking upward. When our own strength fades and our wisdom falls short, His promises stand firm. Step out of self-reliance & anchor your next steps entirely in God's Word. ✨📖 #TrustGod#BiblicalFaith#WalkByFaith#ChristianLiving
The cross is the ultimate measure of love. Jesus didn’t just speak about love; He demonstrated it with His very life. Rest in His unfailing love today, and let it empower you to fiercely love the people He has placed in your life. ✝️❤️ #Faith#SacrificialLove#Gospel
Stop Following Your Heart (Here’s Why):
Pop culture constantly tells us to trust our internal compass. True biblical faith is about learning to distrust ourselves so we can fully trust in God.

A Lithuanian farmer discovered a church bell buried for 82 years while working his field.
Cast in 1908, locals buried it in 1942 to protect it from Soviet forces who melted church bells into weapons. It came out of the ground perfectly preserved.
